Renormalisation in Quantum Mechanics

Michael C. Birse

Published Sep 18, 2007• 0 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

This lecture provides an introduction to the renormalisation group as applied to scattering of two nonrelativistic particles. As well as forming a framework for constructing effective theories of few-nucleon systems, these ideas also provide a simple example which illustrates general features of the renormalisation group.

Introduction to renormalization

Yurij V. Holovatch

In these lectures I discuss peculiarities of the critical behaviour of "non-ideal" systems as it is explained by the renormalization group approach.Examples considered here include account of the single-ion anisotropy, structural disorder, frustrations.I introduce main ideas of renormalization and show how it serves the explanation of typical features of criticality in the above systems: softening of the phase transition, changes in the universality class, complicated effective critical behaviour.

The renormalisation group approach to scaling in physics

D. J. Wallace, Royce K. P. Zia

The auth ors review the application of the renormalisation group to many-body problems, with particular emphasis on the scaling behaviour which may arise. An introductory section discusses the difficulties of calculating the many-body effects near a magnetic phase transition, and shows by a simple example how the renormalisation group may be used to predict scaling behaviour. A general discussion of scaling and universality follows, with a review of techniques for calculation in lattice models, and an outline of the approaches in field theory. The range of applications of these techniques is discussed.

Scattering Theory in Quantum Mechanical Problems

Dimitri R. Yafaev

The aim of the lecture is to briefly describe the mathematical background of scattering theory for two- and three-particle quantum systems. We discuss basic objects of the theory: wave and scattering operators and the corresponding scattering matrix and illustrate them on the example of the Schrödinger equation. Our goal is to present time-dependent and stationary approaches and to describe the underlying mathematical methods. We also give a sketch of scattering theory for three interacting quantum particles including a difficult problem of the asymptotic completeness of scattering channels. Along with traditional results, we discuss new scattering channels arising for long-range pair interactions.

Introduction au Groupe de Renormalisation et à ses Applications

(in French) G Toulouse and P Pfeuty Grenoble: Presses Universitaires de Grenoble 1975 pp 278 price FF 65 Of all the important developments in theoretical physics over the last 20 years or more, the recent burgeoning of the renormalization group in statistical mechanics and in field theory has surely been the least well served by general reviews and introductions. Though exciting in their overall tenour and useful to the already active researcher, these have been exceptionally difficult of access even from immediately neighbouring fields.

A Condensed Course of Quantum Mechanics

Pavel Cejnar

This book represents a concise summary of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics for physics students at the university level. The text covers essential topics, from general mathematical formalism to specific applications. The formulation of quantum theory is explained and supported with illustrations of the general concepts of elementary quantum systems. In addition to traditional topics of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics - including single-particle dynamics, symmetries, semiclassical and perturbative approximations, density-matrix formalism, scattering theory, and the theory of angular momentum - the book also covers modern issues, among them quantum entanglement, decoherence, measurement, nonlocality, and quantum information. Historical context and chronology of basic achievements is also outlined in explanatory notes. Ideal as a supplement to classroom lectures, the book can also serve as a compact and comprehensible refresher of elementary quantum theory for more advanced students.
